We can convince ourselves we have players who can fill the right back role, and this may be true for a few more weeks, but Mikael Lustig was one of the frailties that cost us against AEK last August, and we don’t even have him now.
So far the transfer window has gone well, but a team is as well as its weakest link. Failure to get a right back who can stop crosses into the box has to be avoided.
That night in Athens is all the motivation we should need.

Philbhoy…indeed! Ask big Mikel (legs are gone) Lustig…
Yes, it’s good to have pace but there is so much more to the game…Ollie Burke?

Beautiful part of the world Auckland , we’re all guilty of not responding to
some posters, but we all nod our heads or spill our drinks at some comments
and then we log off saying ” that was a great night on the blog ‘ without
contributing anything, and we’re all guilty but thats life.
I’m off to Mo Leabha as the Irish Bhoys say.
Tomorrow god willing i’ll be hun baiting again lol.

“…SOT was correct when he said this place has turned intae an echo chamber. Think I’ll join him.”
I actually thought you were being funny when you posted that…
That you would echo his sentiments while complaining about this place becoming an echo chamber..
echo echo echo echo…. :o}}}
……………………
The discussion about what’s happened to this place will tend to reflect exactly what’s happened to this place…
Too little respect for other people’s views & too many who take a binary view of the world.
In their eyes if you don’t subscribe to their dogma about Celtic you are fair game for a slagging off.
Hope EVERYONE has a grand day

Ger57…if yer looking in…can you send me the pics with myself and Big Ears ta…don’t think last nights attemps made it out of the basement.

Hail Hail
Have been sayin it for a while…too many ….i’m right & if u dont agree I’ll verbally abuse u. They dont do opinions…only wot they think is right.
Losers
& thats imho
A lot of talk about strengthening the defence (which is required due to the amount of players who have departed), but the main problem we have had since Neil took over and for the last 18 months of BR’s tenure is further up the park.
Too many players have been inconsistent for too long: Ntcham, Rogic and Sinclair (I think we would accept offers for all three). We need to get at number 10 and other striker and let OE play out on the left. Bitton, Eboue and Morgan we can find buyers.
and distinctive to ADI
thanks all for great company last night

Wee friendly kickabouts in pre-season mean nothing, never has and never will. wee bit of research from BHOYLO83 make comment look silly

Fist pumping and mouthing ‘Come On!’ is so old hat…

Anyone who’s played football at any level knows pre-season friendlies are meaningless
SFTB,
I don’t have a link for the study. I tried googling for it but no joy. I think it appeared in the Glasgow Herald. It was specific to Ulster Scots btw and drew lines from their history and default demeanour to how they are today.

Thanks for looking.
I retain some scepticism about National characteristics. We all have the potential for violence within us. We know it is usually adverse childhood circumstances that bring these to the fore.
Guy in my work is a Bolton season ticket holder ,has been since a kid .
His dad played for them but didn’t get passed the reserve team.
Anyway he said young Luca is a fantastic player and will end up captain.
I spoke to him on the night shift last night .
Told him about Luca playing for us yesterday.
I said he was one paced.
He said his game is not about speed but about receiving the ball in tight spaces and passing it out to our players.
Impossible to judge anyone whether it’s Boli, Luca or Julien on one game. Remember Henrik.
The friendly against Rennes was the first time the vast majority of us saw Luca kick a ball. All I know is that both Mick McCarthy & Robbie Keane were raving about him & can;t wait to debut him in a competitive International to tie him down permanently as an Irish International.
I thought he played safe yesterday, didn’t want to make any mistakes.
I think he played just like someone who doesn’t know his team mates
or our style.
I also thought our players where not quite sure of him so didn’t pass to. Him unless it
Was really safe to do so.
Still think there’s a player there.

To true, pre-season games tell us nothing at all about the season ahead. Its a fitness exercise openned up To the public for a coin or two.
Truth is every club in scotland would bite the Hard off you for our squad and money the money in the bank and we are not done yet.

If KT doesn’t go then there is a chance that one of them thugs posing as a player will end his career.
He gets no protection from the refs.
NONE of our players do.
Relax bhoys – no need to concern yourselves about the upcoming season.According the Daily Ranger a resurgent Rangers have wiped the French giants off the face of the earth with the help of a new wonder striker who is even better than last season’s wonder striker, the soon to be World Player if the Year and the most solid of solid defences made up of the old bits from last year but much much betterer! So we should just relax and enjoy the privelage of watching them clean, no stress.
Clean up – even
Wife’s no happy – she’s sitting on the dock with our guests waiting for a boat ride and the Captain just can’t pull himself away from the tennis. Uh oh, I see her coming towards the hoose again. C’mon Roger.
What a fantastic finish to the cricket ,- scores tied – super over each

Head in a spin…WTF dain watching cricket????? :O(
Epic Wimbledon final day, two true champions battling it out to the first ever 12 – 12 final set tie break.
A fantastic finale with the Royal Boxers left gutted, along with good ole fashioned British bias in the commentary team, stiff upper lips all round.
What an amazing match
Was rooting for Federer but congratulations to Djokovic
Favourite uncle
To be fair NZ were lucky to qualify instead of Pakistan who’d beat them head to head
Rules is rules – except when sevco are involved
Hopefully, this morning’s posts regarding multiculturalism will be deleted by the mods.
They are Not reflective of the CQN community that I joined all those years ago, or with which I would care to be associated.
TONTINE TIM@2:31pm absolutely agree
Someone else said he would be tripling his wages 🤔Think it’s a wee tad more than that
Scores the same after super over
England win on the fact they hit more boundaries during the game –
Multicultural England and Wales win an amazing cricket match
